NSHAHS Students Featured in The Jewish Star for "Stepping Up"

A number of students at the North Shore Hebrew Academy High School have been involved in a program called “Stepping Up” Long Island Jewish Teen Philosophy Pilot Program. Guiding the students through this philanthropic program was Debra Gold, Community Service Advisor. The students learned about the Jewish values that guide our giving as well as about the critical needs on Long Island: education, health, housing, hunger and jobs.

GLOBE Learning 2 Research Project

As a participant in the GLOBE Program, North Shore HAHS has been monitoring the environment for the past 5 years.  As a special effort within GLOBE called Learning 2 Research, our students helped identify an environmental phenomenon and worked hard to study and understand it.  Their work culminated in this video.

Thanks to Science Department Chairperson Gerard Wykes for the above writeup, and of course to our terrific students involved in the GLOBE Learning 2 Research project.

North Shore Runway: Season One

NSHAHS Seniors Learn Key Cancer Detection Skills

On Thursday January 31st, NSHAHS seniors learned critical skills for detecting potential early signs of cancer.  The presentation was led by Steven Kussin and Sherri Warshavsky of Hadassah / Check It Out, and Dr. Mushtaq of North Shore LIJ, with boys and girls separated and receiving tailored lessons.

Given the prevalence of both breast cancer (most common type for women) and testicular cancer (most common in men aged 16-25), students in both groups learned important preventative and early detection skills, and asked several questions during and after the presentation.

We’d like to thank all three presenters for taking the time to visit and educate our seniors on this important topic.
